Q. Xavier loves to make waffles for breakfast. Normally, it takes him 99 minutes to make 33 waffles. He had some friends sleep over last night, and he wants to make 1010 waffles this morning.\newlineIf the waffles cook at the same rate, how many minutes will it take Xavier to make the waffles this morning?\newline___\_\_\_ minutes\newline
  1. Calculate Waffle Rate: Calculate the rate at which Xavier makes waffles. He makes 33 waffles in 99 minutes, so the rate is 33 waffles per 99 minutes.
  2. Determine Time per Waffle: Determine the time it takes to make one waffle. Divide the total time by the number of waffles: 99 minutes / 33 waffles = 33 minutes per waffle.
  3. Calculate Total Time for 1010 Waffles: Calculate the total time needed to make 1010 waffles. Multiply the time per waffle by the number of waffles: 3minutes/waffle×10waffles=30minutes.3 \, \text{minutes/waffle} \times 10 \, \text{waffles} = 30 \, \text{minutes}.
